What does it take you to write properly? There are certainly tangible things like a computer or typewriting machine, or a pen and paper. But you also need time, inspiration, a positive attitude and the expectation of success to keep writing at your best.Find a comfortable place to write The surroundings and services that match the tastes and styles of an author makes it more likely that the blank page before them will eventually be filled with compelling copies. In fact the ideal place to write would immediately set in motion the writing muscles just by being there.What would work for you if you had the luxury of a personalized place of work? Think about your desire to read or write, how the sound influences you, how easily distracted you are, how focused you are, if you need people around you, and your general nature. Should you work with or around the microphone with other people, or do you need complete silence? Is there a dedicated workspace to have, or can you write at your dining table? Will a waterfall on a tabletop help to create an atmosphere of peace, or will it only serve to make you mad?The trick is finding a place for writing that fits your style, your preferences and your comfort. Just because other people can type out pages on their laptop at the local coffee shop doesn't mean that is right for you.You need a place to write comfortably and your materials are free from prying eyes, jelly-dripping (except of course your own) fingers and endless interruption.Consider the view Some writers consider a workspace with a great view to be very distracting because anything that catches their attention will interrupt their concentration or disrupt their thought. Looking at a blank, windowless, ornament-free wall is the only way for some people to see the words, rather than the environment.But for others, pleasant surroundings inspire and encourage the creative process. You can find that a window into your garden or the sun rising over your city's landscape gives you peace and visual nourishment.You have to compose to your very best. If there is no outdoor scenery, fresh or silk flowers on your bookshelf or pictures of your current travels or family get-together may be the inspiring ticket to that perfect word or to nail down the plot of your crime novel. Also if your field of work is just an alcove off the kitchen or a corner of the basement you're using while everyone else is asleep, pinning a soothing, motivating, or challenging poster or drawing might be just what you need to keep those juices flowing.But for others, pleasant surroundings inspire and encourage the creative process.

You and your spouse, for example, both use the same desk-you write, and your spouse to pay bills and arrange personal records. Or maybe others have easy access to it - maybe your office is in the family room corner, where your kids sometimes play, or sometimes you entertain popcorn and video buddies. In any event, you'll want to make sure you have a lockable drawer or file cabinet where you can safely store your supplies.
